Settings
RobotFramework Dashboard includes a fully customizable configuration system that controls how the dashboard looks and behaves.
General
The settings are divided into three tabs:
- Graphs – general dashboard and chart behavior
- Keywords – which keyword libraries appear in keyword graphs
- JSON – direct editing of the full JSON config for advanced users
Theme
The dashboard can be displayed in light mode or dark mode.
This setting is applied globally across all dashboard pages and graphs. This can be set through the sun/moon icon in the menu bar.
General Settings (Graphs Tab)
The Graphs tab contains the core configuration options for all charts in the dashboard. These settings influence how the dashboard is generated and how graphs are rendered.
Details
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Dashboard Sections | Show all dashboard sections in a single unified view. (Instead of run/suite/test/keyword separate) |
| Display Legends | Show or hide graph legends. Useful to disable this when graphs contain many series. |
| Display Axis Titles | Shows axis labels (e.g., Run Time, Pass/Fail Count). Disable for a cleaner look. |
| Display Run Start/Alias Labels On Axes | Enables labels directly on graph axes. Disable for a cleaner look. |
| Display Alias Labels | Labels graphs using aliases instead of the default run_start. |
| Display Milliseconds Run Start Labels | Adds millisecond precision to run_start timestamps. |
| Display Drawing Animations | Enables animated graph rendering. |
| Animation Duration (Milliseconds) | Length of animation, e.g. 1500 ms. |
| Bar Gdraph Edge Rouning (Pixels) | Controls rounding of bar edges (e.g., 0 = square, 8 = softer). |
